 Not a great buy for a Mac September 13, 2008
This is a cheap product and it feels it and the picture quality is bad and the software for it is absolutely minimal and only works for Skype. It won't work with all the other built in apps that use a webcam unless you purchase additional software.
Instead spend the extra and get a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 Webcam, which gives a Hi-Def video quality, works with everything and needs no software, it works out of the box. Oh and the mic is excellent and is linked into a single USB connection to the Mac.
I am not sure when OS X included universal drivers for webcams but I am running 10.5 on both my Macs and they worked beautifully out of the box.
 Okay Skype, nothing else though. August 5, 2008

Picture is okay. Run on vista the software in the box didn't work. downloaded the driver from the website and it worked fine. Only in Skype though. All other video capture software refused to recognise it. I could record video but NOT sound on to my PC, either from the camera's built in mic or an aditional mic. Useless. Its cheap looking in the box and even cheaper in performance. Go elsewhere, please.
 No Mac Mic March 27, 2008

Works fine on a Mac (Mac OS 10.4.11) except that the microphone doesn't work. There's a note on Sogatel's website that says the microphone is not compatible with Macs.
Fortunately I don't want to use the microphone.
I got it up and running in a moment once I'd visited the Sogatel website and downloaded the drivers - there are no Mac drivers in the box but there's a leaflet telling you where to get them. Configuring it to run with Skype seemed simple - though you do need to quit the Skype application and restart it before it recognises there's a camera available.
 Mac Webcam March 16, 2008
My first Mac webcam so I dont have a lot to compare to; picture quality is very good and it was easy to install. All round very pleased. Very fast delivery too.
 "logitech style" March 13, 2008

Bought two of these when it was still being described as "logitech style" .
Actually a good image for the price but the microphone jack plug very poor quality, difficult to get and retain a connection so really not fit for purpose. Not really a bargain, I would say go elsewhere, perhaps a real logitech or what I beleive to be of very good quality anything from Creative.
When I complained supplier did forward a returns form, but couldnt be bothered to make the effort.
